Special to the River Press.
HELENA, February 12.-The Spokane
Review says: Yesterday we learned that
the Cmur d'Alene Steam Navigation &
Transportation company had sold its line
and all property appertaining thereto.
The purchaser is D. C. Corbin, the well
known Montana capitalist, who built the
railroad from the Mission to Wardner.
When Mr.. Corbin commenced the con-
struction of his railroad he contracted
with the Cpur d'Alene Steam Navigation
& Transportation Co. to carry all freight
and passengers going over his road, and
there was stipulation inserted in the
contract that Mr.. Corbin was to be grant
ed the right to purchase the property of
the company at any time he might see fit
on thirty days notice. Mr.. Corbin is
now in New York, and yesterday Mr..
Monaghan, president of the company, re-
ceived notice from Mr.. G.. that he would
buy the property. It is understood that
the transfer will take place on the 1st of
March. This will make no change in the,
regular business of the line. The price
paid is believed to be between $50, 900 and
$60 600.

Newspaper Boom.

The impression that it is the bound duty of newspaper to boom the town, first, last and all
 the time, has little more liberal interpretation elsewhere. The people of Tucson, by public sub scription, buy 5000 copies of their local paper every month for the purpose of sending it abroad, and in addition pay s2OO month for the expense attending "write-ups" of their city. Lamar, Kansas. sub scribed S2,0OO for pamphlet and Sl,5OO for write-up in the local press. The Monitor, of Fort Scott. Kansas, is paid S7,O0O for taking up the advantages of that city. Hutchinson. Kansas, claims to pay the News S1O,OOO for running a morning paper, and Newton does better by subscribing S15,OOO to have the Republican boom that place.-El Paso Inter-Republic.
 For snake bites, Dr. Weir, of Philadelphia, is reported as stat ing that the immediate application of carbolic acid to the wound pre- vents both local and general poison. Pure acid, if applied in too great quantity, is liable to produce sloughing and even dan gerous symptoms, hence it is best used in the proportion of two parts acid and one part alcohol. It IS believed to act by causing con- traction of the smaller vessels and thus preventing absorption of the poison. Applied to the wound at a late period it produces no effect.
 A London correspondent says that the English people are great ly impressed by the magnificent l riding of the Wild West exhibi- tion- The papers devote a great deal Of space to the study of equestrianism, and the critics agree that the American style of sitting firmly in the saddle, instead of rising Tn the English way, is to be preferred as easier on the horse. The cowboy riders sit perfectly erect, and are so graceful in their hearings. even when going the fastest, that it demonstrates the correctness of the style.

Governor Church OF Dakota has made

Washington, leaving here yesterday
afternoon. While in the city he was
dined by the president, and also called
upon Secretary Lamar. Gov. Chureh
justified his action in the Yankton mud

that, although they were his own ap-
pointees, that the multitudinous details
attending his entering his office pre-.
vented his giving their case the
thorough attention demanded, although
he understood that complaints sgainat
them had been filad with the previous
administration and diaregarded. He
found, upon Investigation, that they
were completely unfit for their offices,
and he refused to entrust TO them the
funds for the extension of the aeylum,
A change was Inevitable, and it was
made.

he explain to the president Why he did

she secretary of the interior while in
Washington and then return and look
up letter from the governor OF New
Mexico ne.w on flest the executive office

stepped into slough up to his neck in
attempting TO remove the Yankton
trustees.
The organic act declares that "when-
ever Vacancy occurs by resignation or
death in any Office which under the
organic eot Is to be filed by the Cover
nor" then he shall make an appointment
to last till the next meeting of the
legislature.
In disagreement between himself
and an official in New Mexico, Gov. Ross
attempted to remove the officer. The
case went to the courts, and the latter
decided not only that the governor could
not remove the man, but that he could
not do so and fill the vacaucy sven il the
Law of the territory provided he might
do it as this would be IN conflict with
the organic act, which specified how and
when vacancy should exist, which was
only by resignation or death.
Gov. Ross thought this dangerous
state of affairs, and addressed letter to
the then governor Of Dakota asking his
corporation in securing an amendment
to the Law by congress Others joined
him, and the resultws that bill was
introduced IN the house last winter which
gave the governors OF territories greater
power. The bill failed to pass, however

Lamar is cognizsnt of these faots and
